Landlord agreed to replace the furnace before winter. I was worried because we thought it was just the AC not working properly. But the furnace is old and tired and it's going to be expensive so I thought she might not want to do it. Now we are just trying to find the best contractor/price/time to do it.

July 18 - JULIE SANG! It is true that Julie Andrews is no longer a soprano, but she can still sing and her voice still sounds good in the lower register. I was amazed. Definitely a best thing!
July 19 - Another AFM trip. This time we went to Chino Hills to see them at Roscoe's which had the best apple cobbler I have ever had in my life. And that is really saying something!
July 20 - My softball team won today 19-3 on the mercy rule. I stole third! YAY!

July 15 - Heard from G that he didn't get the box seats for Friday night at the Bowl to see Julie Andrews (she's not singing but she is hosting a Rodgers & Hammerstein night). I was SO disappointed!! I went to the Bowl website, saw that tickets were still available and a few clicks later we had two tickets to the bench seats next to the last section of boxes. Basically, we are right behind his company's box! Excellent!
July 16 - Finally found a hotel in Barcelona that is the right combo of price, location, and amenities. The exchange rate is killing me on this vacation!! T still has to buy her plane ticket too!
July 17 - Finally got my new timeshare points added to my account and am now only missing the bonus international week. Called Handicap Girl and told her to plan on spending her birthday in Cabo!! Told the Thursday Night girls that we should combine the next Brother show with a stay in Dana Point too.

Wow! Having an eye infection has made emailing so difficult that I have really been neglecting my blog. So here we go:
June 29th - Even though my softball team lost today, we had some really great plays. Special congrats go to L for making that base hit down the right field line!
June 30th-July 2nd - are a total blur. Who knows?
July 3rd - No work tomorrow so we headed to Finn's and stayed til last call. I haven't done that in over a year! It was great to see everyone!
July 4th - No real plans for the holiday. I slept, caught up on Wimbledon, and caught up on Tivo. I think that is a pretty good day!
July 5th - PJ's last gig at O'Brien's before heading permamently to Nashville. He promised he come back some time but we know how musicians are. Their time is their own. So we enjoyed it while it lasted. Great to see all the bandmates old and new and all the fans.
July 6th - Not only did I get to meet our new Pastor, but I also finally got to see Prince Caspian!
July 7th - Went to the Dodger game and witnessed a fantastic one-hit shut out of the Braves. I'm talking BASEBALL!
July 8th - Had to work late, but didn't miss out on dinner with T&J. Always nice to meet your friend's new beau. Especially when he has a single best friend! ;-)
July 9th - The first day since my eye infection that my eye actually started to feel normal.
July 10th - PJ's last night at Finns. So we had to go again. Even got the final photo of PJ with the Thursday Night Girls.
July 11th - Nothing much today, called in sick and slept pretty much the whole day.
July 12th - The annual Hillsides Picnic. I just love this event and this year I got to give out prizes!
July 13th - I went to the Dodger game with cousins P&A. Teh Dodgers blasted the Marlins out of the water. Then went to my softball game and the other team blasted us out of the water. Oh well!
July 14th - Today's thing was totally random. Bumped in to S on my way home from work. She was meeting friends for dinner and the restaurant was closed. So that was fun!

Today's best thing was bumping into J at the mall and seeing "Sex & The City". I think we were the only two women left in America who hadn't seen it, except maybe K who has proclaimed in her blog that by the time she gets around to seeing a film it is out on DVD!

June 18 - Wedding shower for a co-worker at lunch today. Lucky girl is getting married in Trinidad!
June 19th - An evening free at home to catch up on laundry and all the chores I know I won't get to this weekend cuz I have big plans. Normally chores wouldn't be a best thing but it's good to get them done!
June 20th - A fine evening to celebrate S's birthday with The British Empire and Sprinkles cupcakes!
June 21st - A Wonderful day at the Irish Fair. Great to see the guys from Brother, friends from the 2006 Ireland trip, the GAT 5, and everyone else.
June 22nd - Suite day at Dodger Stadium!! Not only did the Dodgers win, but I made it to batting practice for softball and we won too! Finished Round 1 3-2. Go Heat!
June 23rd - Another great walk at GP with MAD - D a no show again. Plus it was roomie's first day at her new job!! Not the one she REALLY wanted, but it sounds like it might be fun.
June 24th - Managed to wait until afternoon to tear my contact lens. So at least I could work the rest of the day without much difficulty.
June 25th - Saw George Michael in concert. Even though it was really hot, and i had to wear my glasses because my eyelid was swollen, the show was REALLY good. And it was George's birthday too. We saw Lisa Rinna & Dr. Phil.
June 26th - home sick with sore eye. I guess the best thing about that is that I could watch Wimbledon.
June 27th - saw Dr today. I am not contagious. I do not have conjunctivitis. I do have blepharitis. I now also have drugs. Unfortunately, I can't wear contacts or makeup for two weeks. And I probably shouldn't think about staying out too late anytime soon.

More catch ups on the best thing:
June 14th - Today was our HVN kids event. We took the boys to Dave & Busters which was really fun! Kids events are always a Best Thing!
June 15th - L's birthday and Father's day so we had cupcakes at softball. We lost the game and there were some really bad calls, but cupcakes can make up for a lot. It was nice to celebrate two good things at least!
June 16th - Today's best thing is that my roomie finally had a job interview for a job that she really would like. She has been looking a long while and things always seem to be "okay for right now, but not for long term". I am really happy that this time she seems to have found something that she wants to do. I hope she gets it!
June 17th - Today I had the day off and that was the best thing because, in addition to having my last dental appointment until October, I was also able to take care of all those little things that one must do during business hours that I can't do because I am at work. The only thing that didn't get done was getting the AC fixed, but I am hopeful that will be done soon. Otherwise, a lot of tasks got accomplished and that was good!!
